I’m sure there is a more in-depth historical treatment but this was pretty eye-opening to me.

I have a couple of pairs of sock garters, and ordered these for keeping leg warmers up and fluffy skirts (slightly) more modest while biking: http://www.sockdreams.com/products/accessories/sock-garters/double-grip-clips:10344 (I got them in pink.)
